sleep
i need
sleep
being awake puts my life at stake
all i can do is think, i’m drowning in thought, please take
my consciousness
i do believe it is the most
likely that if i leave without a dream i will become a ghost
i don’t
think
that it’s safe to remain in this place
i need sleep to erase thoughts i cannot embrace
it’s a race, it’s a sprint
and it’s really not safe
and i’m dizzy and spinning, it might be too late
take a look at the clock
and i know i can’t chock
it up to the insomnia; i’m under lock and
i know
that
the longer i lay here the longer i think
and the longer i think the deeper i sink
and the deeper i sink the greater the link
between me and these thoughts and life without a blink
i need sleep.
